MEDICAL EDUCATION – Amends and adds to existing law to revise provisions regarding medical education programs supported by Idaho state funds and to provide for WWAMI program transition.

H 176 amends Idaho law to revise residency requirements for medical education programs and establish transition rules for the WWAMI medical education program. The bill updates Section 33-3717B (residency rules) and adds Section 33-3732 to define how Idaho will manage its participation in the WWAMI program, which provides medical training across multiple western states. It directly affects students seeking medical degrees at Idaho public institutions, particularly regarding residency status eligibility and program transitions. The changes clarify how students qualify for in-state tuition and ensure structured governance for Idaho's medical education partnerships.
